A beautiful summer night

Yunli agreed to treat Jiang Baichuan to dinner tonight, but as the time approached, Yun Meilan called to say that Liang Jing's parents had come to visit and asked her to close her shop early and go home with Liang Jing for dinner.

"I'm sorry, I'll treat you to dinner next time." Yunli seemed a little dazed.

Yunli roughly knew why Liang Jing's parents had come to visit.

What she said last night was just her side of the story; she had no evidence, and Liang Jing didn't admit it, nor would he ever admit it.

Not only will they not admit it, they will even try to manipulate Yun Meilan.

He knew that controlling Yun Meilan meant controlling Yun Li.

So Liang's parents came here specifically to apologize on Liang Jing's behalf.

By involving the elders of both families in this matter, Liang Jing is putting pressure on Yun Li.

Seeing that she was about to cut the flower branch in her hand to pieces with the scissors, Jiang Baichuan raised his hand and covered the back of her hand to stop her from doing so: "Sorry won't help. I'm quite sad. Treat me to a couple of meals next time."

Yunli: "..."

No wonder they're capitalists.

But considering that he had worked for her for free for a day, Yunli nodded and agreed: "Then I'll owe him for now."

She awkwardly pulled her hand back as she spoke, their fingertips touching, a trace of warmth remaining.

Jiang Baichuan raised an eyebrow slightly, his smile deepening: "Shall I give you a ride?"

“No need, my car…” Yun Li stood up, her words abruptly stopping when she saw Liang Jing standing at the entrance of the flower shop.

No wonder Yun Meilan said she wanted her and Liang Jing to go back for dinner together.

It turned out that he had come to pick her up on his way.

This is exactly the time he gets off work.

Upon seeing Jiang Baichuan at the flower shop again, Liang Jing concealed his anger. He had witnessed the scene just now, but this time reason prevailed over anger.

Tonight's dinner is his only chance to win Yunli back.

"What a coincidence." Jiang Baichuan stood up and stood next to Yun Li, speaking in a coquettish tone, "Mr. Liang, please don't misunderstand. Yun Li and I are classmates, and I just happened to be free, so I came to help out. You don't mind, do you?"

Yun Li felt a chill run down her spine: "..."

They're getting more and more irreverent.

Liang Jing suppressed his emotions and forced a magnanimous smile: "President Jiang, what are you saying? I misunderstood you last time, and I still owe you an apology."

Jiang Baichuan raised his chin: "Is there some misunderstanding? How come I don't know anything about it?"

Liang Jing's face darkened, and he almost couldn't keep up the act.

Not to mention that he wouldn't dare to provoke Jiang Baichuan, even if he did, he wouldn't be a match for Jiang Baichuan.

Yun Li glanced at Jiang Baichuan.

This person's current level is really high.

"I have a car, let's each drive our own." Yun Li tidied up, closed the door, and locked it with a safety lock. The lock was a bit rusty and required some force to lock. Jiang Baichuan stood beside her and naturally helped her.

The palms are pressed against the backs of the hands, and the movements are slow and gentle.

Liang Jing, watching from behind, was fuming with rage.

No matter how dissatisfied I am, I can't afford to provoke Yunli any further.

And Jiang Baichuan...

The Jiang family holds a high position in Beicheng, and the wealthy have many means that ordinary people cannot reach.

He was just a new employee at the audit bureau who had just received a stable job and salary.

The reason he flew into a rage at Yunli after returning home that day was not because of his possessiveness, but because he couldn't stand the existence of such an outstanding person around Yunli.

In his eyes, she was nothing more than a flower seller.

Jiang Baichuan's palms were slightly warm. Yun Li looked up at him and inexplicably wanted to laugh.

This person sometimes unconsciously exudes a childlike quality.

He probably doesn't even know it himself.

After locking the car, Yun Li walked straight to her car without giving Liang Jing a single glance.

After arriving home, Yunli put down her keys and politely greeted the elders. Yun Meilan noticed that Liang Jing was not behind her and quickly asked, "Where's Liang Jing? Didn't you come back together?"

Yunli went to wash her hands, the sound of the water almost drowning out her own voice: "I have a car, I have to drive it back, otherwise how am I going to the flower shop tomorrow?"

Yun Meilan wasn't sure if Liang's parents in the living room had heard her, so she stepped forward and tugged at her arm: "Are you still angry? Their parents are here today, don't go too far."

Looking at herself in the mirror, Yunli numbly replied, "I know."

Ten minutes later, Liang Jingcai rang the doorbell, and Yun Li was pushed by Yun Meilan to open the door.

As soon as he entered, Liang Jing apologized, saying, "It's rush hour, so there's a bit of traffic."

We all came back via the same route, so Yunli knows whether there's traffic or not.

Liang Jing's driving style is just like his personality: he pretends to be steady, but he's actually a coward. A journey that should take twenty minutes can take him more than half an hour.

Yun Meilan still warmly welcomed the family, and Yun Li, no matter how dissatisfied she was, would not take it out on Liang Jing's parents; her tone and attitude remained polite.

But once they reached the dinner table, their true intentions became clear. One side had Liang Jing serve her food, while the other spoke and laughed on her behalf, subtly helping her and Liang Jing reconcile.

Yunli's last bit of patience ran out.

“Liang Jing acted impulsively and argued with you like that. Auntie has already disciplined him, and he definitely won’t do it again.” Liang’s mother has been sick and hospitalized repeatedly these days, and Yun Li has been taking care of her most of the time. She is very satisfied with Yun Li. At this moment, she took the initiative to put some food on Yun Li’s plate and said in a gentle tone, “How about we just let this matter go? Auntie likes you very much and is waiting for you to call me Mom in the future. I really can’t bear to see you two separated.”

Yun Meilan chimed in, "Yes, me too. It would be such a pity if we broke up."

Yunli chewed the rice in her mouth without making a sound.

Yun Meilan is that kind of person who can't see reality clearly.

Even though he briefly doubted Liang Jing last night, he preferred to trust her own intuition.

She still didn't hear a single word Yunli said.

Taking advantage of the situation set up by his mother, Liang Jing softened his voice and apologized to Yun Li: "Yun Li, I really didn't mean it that day. I'm so sorry. I've thought about it, and it's all because I didn't take good care of you that you thought I..."

He promised, "I will change. Trust me this once. I'm serious about you, the kind of serious that I want to marry you. Give me another chance."

Yun Meilan was almost moved to tears by the sincerity of the words. She patted Yun Li under the table, signaling her to continue.

Yunli put down her chopsticks and said, "It's not a matter of whether I give you a chance or not, it's that I don't like you."

She spoke seriously, taking advantage of the presence of both families to make things clear: "Liang Jing, I have never liked you. Your aunt and uncle may not know why I agreed to be with you, but you do. So, stop pretending not to know."

Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expression.

Yun Meilan was worried that Liang Jing's parents would find out about her suicide attempt to force Yun Li to be with Liang Jing.

Similarly, Liang Jing didn't want his parents to know about this, especially about helping Yun Meilan pretend to disappear yesterday; he absolutely couldn't let them hear about it.

Mr. Liang's expression also changed drastically, and he looked somewhat embarrassed: "Are you saying this out of anger? Our Liang Jing likes you so much, how can you be so heartless?"

Yun Li spoke slowly, seemingly answering Liang's father's question, but her eyes were fixed on Liang Jing: "Does Liang Jing really like me?"

Liang Jing's body tensed up, and his clenched hands were sweaty.

He felt afraid.

He put down his chopsticks, his face grim, and left with his parents before finishing his meal: "You may not believe me, but you cannot insult my character in front of my parents!"

The meal ended unhappily.

Yun Meilan didn't make a scene. Instead, she sat blankly at the dinner table and said, "Are you satisfied now? You've ruined such a good marriage. Do you know that before you two came back, their parents told me they had already prepared the 300,000 yuan dowry and were just looking forward to your wedding at the end of the year..."

"What's a dowry of 300,000? The gift my rude suitor bought me was worth more than 300,000." Finally, she could break up with that bastard Liang Jing. Yun Li's laughter was filled with joy and relief. She didn't mind bringing Jiang Baichuan up for a spin, which would make her happy and also give Yun Meilan a piece of her mind.

No one knows a mother better than her daughter; Yunli understands Yun Meilan all too well.

Liang Jing's reaction just now clearly reminded her of what he said last night.

The doubts she had dispelled returned, and this time her suspicions about Liang Jing deepened once again.

However, she was unwilling to accept this outcome.

He was unwilling to admit that he had misjudged Liang Jing.

So the responsibility was ruthlessly pushed onto Yunli.

But Yunli accepted it.

As long as she stops pressuring her to be with Liang Jing, she'll accept whatever they say. "Please rate this post, everyone! I'd love to see it as a thank you!"
